Baja Omakase - So good

The most incredible dining experience! ! My partner surprised me for our anniversary and it was…read moreamazing not knowing what dish was next. Being in the moment and listening to the chefs explain each dish was so exciting. Everything is locally caught and some flavored to perfection. Even the sake, high recommended to pair with the Japanese lager. Everything was perfect ! I had mentioned I don't eat dairy so I got a different dessert than my boyfriend. It was the most delicious ending to an epic meal. I honestly can't wait to get back home and tell all my friends and family about it. The place was right next to a tree covered by tree branches it was truly a beautiful design. The server and chefs were so kind and well informed. Really tied in the experience.

It doesn't get much better than this…read more.. Booked Baja Omakase a couple of months in advance as I wanted to ensure this happened at our next Valle trip. We arrived at the location (tucked away) off the main road. Like a lot of the good things in Valle I suppose. We soon realized we were the only two dining with the chef this night. Which meant full attention full service just for the two of us. Talk about a treat. Our waiter mentioned how the omakase would work and soon started us with drinks and water. What came after was a dream, a full experience of tastes, and adventure, and exquisiteness. A really good selection of fish from the local Ensenada region. I was in awe every time a new dish come out. I lost count, and found myself trying to savor every moment every bite, and then having a moment of clarity and asking "what course are we on?" "how many are left?" I didn't worry to much as every single stage of omakase was magnificent, beautifully presented and something I highly suggest you do, if you have the opportunity to. If you get lucky and end of being the only customers for night, take advantage of it. As, opportunities like this, are rare. TOSHI is the best!

This is probably one of the best sushi spots in Chula Vista, and I'm so glad we checked it out…read more The sushi was absolutely delicious, fresh, and practically melted in your mouth. Walking inside also gives you that little taste of Japan, from the atmosphere to the food. It definitely brought back those Japan vibes! One cool thing I learned while chatting with the owner is that they also own the mochi shop across the street! Unfortunately, it was already closed when we visited, but the good news is they also serve their mochi at the restaurant for dessert. So you can still get your mochi fix without crossing the street! Overall, this place is a gem in Chula Vista. Great sushi, authentic Japanese flavors, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you've stepped into a little izakaya in Japan. Definitely recommend, and I'll absolutely be back!

Came here for dinner Friday night. It was my daughter's turn to choose a restaurant and she chose…read morethis for us three. We were immediately seated, but as soon as my husband and I saw the menu, we wanted to get up and leave. Their menu was very limited, very pricey for the the place & location. But since my daughter was excited to try it, we decided to stay. No bento boxes here, and everything you request is an additional charge, even a tiny amount of teriyaki sauce! My daughter got the Naruto bowl, and my husband, the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, each one costing $17 EACH. I went with the soy sauce ramen which was $16, and to add an egg additional $1.50. The bowls were only filled with rice, the ramen was filled with scallions, and not much else. The Cali Roll were also mostly rice, no avocado, they were so cheap and did not even add wasabi & ginger! Plus the place was not very clean. In front of where we were seated were dirty bins collecting dirty dishes, and a trash can where servers just dumped everything from trash, to soups, to drinks! It was so nasty, why not place the trash cans inside, where it is hidden, not where customers were dining?!? We won't be coming back. Pls save your money for another Japanese restaurant... the price, portion or taste weren't worth it for us.

Having been my second visit to Nigori Sushi they didn't disappoint but rather continued to impress…read moreme. Having lived in Japan and eating sushi along my many travels I have to say that ironically this may be the best sushi I have had. Not only is the food excellent but it's an experience. The staff and ambiance are top shelf as well. Thanks Nigori for amazing experience on a special week getaway!!
